16:9: How Not To Use A 3 By 3 Video Wall

While still in Las Vegas last week, I had a morning meeting over in the deranged labyrinth also known as Caesar’s Palace, and found myself sitting in the central food court, looking at the video wall.

Spotted this interesting application of a Kinect sensor in wearables guru/investor Tom Enrich’s round-up on Medium of what caught his eye at SXSW. Really interesting.
